I have posted before about the Hidden Disability Sunflower .
It is a movement slowly making it's way around the world.
Some disabilities, conditions or chronic illnesses are not immediately obvious to others. For some people, this can make it hard to understand and believe that someone, with a “non-apparent” condition genuinely needs support. Some people question whether you have a disability because you don’t look ‘like you have a disability".
That is why we created the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower - to encourage inclusivity, acceptance and understanding.
It is a simple tool for you to share that you have a non-apparent disability. condition or chronic illness voluntarily. Simply by wearing the Sunflower, you’re just letting everyone know that you might need extra help, understanding, or just more time. It does not automatically provide priority access, fast-track services or a place at the front of a queue.
